My copy of wireshark seems out of date - but pkg denies it's in the

(website says 3.4.8 is current)_

Any idea what's going on please?


(I'd rebuild from the port, but it looks as though I'd end up building
lots of qt-related stuff too. It's only a little machine :-( )

Thanks.

Have a look at freshports: https://www.freshports.org/net/wireshark/
Version 3.4.8 has been ported on 30 Aug 2021 15:10:15.
Seems this package has just missed the quarterly ports release.

How do you update your ports regularly?

Nope. OTOH, 11.4 ist pretty outdated. Update time, I guess.

Been there, done that. Rebuilding the world needs about 48 h on my Raspberry Pi 4 with a small USB SDD as root disk.

I see, thanks. OTOH the package isn't around, and trying to rebuild from
the port is messy (seems to want to build a large chunk of qt-related
stuff... hence my comment. Seems a bit of a general issue with building
from ports.)

I run pkg upgrade -n nightly, and manually install as appropriate. ports
tree gets updated weekly.

Definitely. But I want to move to a rpi as well..... from yesterday's experiments, it seems there are definite issues (at least on a 3B with
13.0) with having the system on a hard drive, same as 11.x had, iirc.

But from your comment below, the pi4 should work.

Thanks for the comments

I'll possibly start a new thread with the rpi issues. Or just buy
a pi4 :-}

If you switch from quarterly, 3.4.8 is in the pkg repo now.

Don't feed the trolls. You might catch something nasty.

This is to be expected, QT has changed a little since 11-Release

I run pkg upgrade -n nightly, and manually install as appropriate. ports tree gets updated weekly.

So as explained in another message, the package was missing and should be present right now. OTOH, packages are built agains a quarterly stable release, which at this time is 13-R -- some difficulties will arise.

Seems I just continue to use tcpdump for my dumps and transfer those to a machine better equipped for Wireshark ;)
